Givenchy Ange ou Demon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Olivier Cresp and Jean-Pierre Bethouart. Ange ou Demon opens with Mandarin, Saffron, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Lily, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Rosewood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Givenchy's Ange ou Demon carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Givenchy's 'Ange ou Demon' is a truly divisive scent- one sniff and you'll either be captivated by its enigmatic embrace or you'll recoil from its peculiar charm. This is for the bold, not the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of potion.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and unique, polarising character make it unsuitable for office wear, but its alluring depth is perfect for dates and evening events. While some find it versatile for daily wear, its strength and rich accords lean away from casual or sport settings, shining instead in cooler environments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

It begins with a tantalising, almost medicinal, spice from saffron and thyme, brightened by mandarin. This quickly melts into a complex heart of lush, heady white and yellow florals like lily and ylang-ylang, creating a rich contrast. The base is an opulent embrace of vanilla and tonka bean, deepened by the earthy, almost-gothic touch of oakmoss and rosewood, leaving a trail that is both sweet and profoundly mysterious.
